The Saudi Pro League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Al Fateh lock horns with Rudi Garcia’s Al Nassr outfit in an important clash at the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium on Friday.
Al Fateh are currently in sixth place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The hosts eased past Al Wehda by a comfortable 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form this season. The away side crashed out of the Saudi Super Cup after a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Al Ittihad and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Al Nassr have an impressive squad at their disposal and will be intent on bouncing back after their defeat against Al Ittihad. Anderson Talisca has been in excellent form this season and will look to add to his goal tally in this match.
Al Fateh can pack a punch on their day but have been inconsistent in the recent past. Al Nassr are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
